Hi john,

AAF is back at work after an extended weekend celebrating raging about the state of America, and we are FIRED UP! We’re about to spend the rest of this week at one of our favorite conventions, Netroots Nation, chatting up all of the politically engaged badasses out there making the world a better place. Make sure to check out our pod, Feminist Buzzkills, LIVE from Netroots to hear from some of our favorite guests and all of the abortion world updates!

Before we go, we can’t leave you hanging- here’s the abortion news you need to know! 

ABORTION ACCESS: WHAT IS EVEN GOING ON?
You know what you do need to know but is confusing as hell? WHERE YOU CAN ACTUALLY GET AN ABORTION! It seems like every damn day, some law goes into effect or is repealed or emerges from the past to fuck us over entirely- it is just too much to keep up with! Thankfully, these NYT graphics will keep you in the know and updated on, well, the roller coaster that is abortion access.

SURVEIL THIS, JERKS!

Not only do we all need to know where to get an abortion, we need to know…how they’re snooping on us?! From abortion trafficking laws, to online data collection, to scanning license plates at clinics, surveillance of abortion seekers and providers is off the charts. Which makes total sense- if you’re a complete tool, of course.

HOW YOU CAN FIGHT BACK!
If you’re properly enraged with us (and who wouldn’t be), the best thing to do is…JOIN US! Check out our Activist Calendar below and find events to plug into!
